three cute kid moments

#1 What is it about a little child snuggled in a blanket on a couch that is so cute? I just love this picture. Kendall's favorite show is Little Bear and she always requests a blanket to snuggle in while she watches. :)


#2 Today we went to the Oak Glen petting zoo and had such a wonderful time. The new herd of goats were mostly babies, which was cute, however they LOVED biting our clothes. The kids liked it to a certain extent, but then it got a little old. :)


#3 A while back my sister posted on Facebook asking for ideas on how to help our kids become more global/missions minded and understand more about what so many Christians do around the world (meaning going to live somewhere else to share the gospel). She got some great feedback and I just decided to use one of the ideas, tweaked a little. The idea was to get some Popsicle sticks and write different names of missionaries on each one. Each night, the family would pick a name to pray for. I'm not sure how much Cam would grasp of the missionary concept, so I used family members instead. I wrote the name of each family member on a heart, so he could pick one each night for us to pray for. Cam LOVED it and immediately requested that we not only do it each night, but each morning when I go in to get him as well. :)

Yes, that's a GREAT idea! You could even put a tiny pic of each person on the heart for pre-readers! =) Love the pic of Kendall escaping the nibbling goats!! =)
